If you experience problems when using visual effects, it is advisable to disable them by opening System ¸ Preferences ¸ Appearance ¸ Visual Effects and selecting No effects. System ¸ Preferences ¸ Appearance ¸ Visual Effects > None Provides a simple desktop environment without any visual effects. Is this what you mean? Mine was set to none. System ¸ Preferences ¸ Advanced Desktop Effects Settings I do not have this at all which is said to be the advanced settings. Is there a terminal command that would show if compiz is enabled?
